This morning he said I can resume "normal" activities. I asked about working out he said light weights, NO abdominal work (sit ups, crunches) or anythng that puts excess strain on the abdominal wall. I just want something I can start doing now that I can increase as I feel better.

Thanks, guess I'll start with bike, light upper body work and slowly introduce more as the pain and swelling subside.
